From the vicarage As I write, it’s a Sunday afternoon and I’m feeling slightly the worse for wear. No, I didn’t have a wild night last night - but I did have my first Covid vaccination yesterday. Aspirin got me through two services this morning, and I’m telling myself that short-term pain is worth the long-term gain – which I’m sure it is.
